2021 College of Supply Chain Management Student Paper Competition Result

The POMS College of Supply Chain Management would like to thank all the participants of 2021 Best Student Paper Competition. This year, we had a very strong pool of 59 submissions. Each paper was sent to three reviewers from a pool of 53 judges. Note that the competition co-chairs did not handle the papers which they have conflict of interests. Based on the referee evaluations, we selected six finalist papers. These finalists were invited to present their paper at one of the two sessions at the virtual POMS Annual Conference. Each paper was allotted 15 minutes for the presentation, followed by a 5-minute Q&A session in front of a jury. Presentation quality was taken into account to decide the first and second prize winners, which were announced at the business meeting on May 4th, 2021.
